Blog Post 9

In preparing for the presentation for this class, I have come across a couple of videos that speak volumes about the use of YouTube in the classroom. One such video, the one located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r1SRJCViUY, neatly encapsulates the points enumerated in the literature review. It lists the 10 reasons for using YouTube videos in the classroom. Coincidentally, most of the reasons mentioned in the video clip are reinforced by the literature. Another fantastic resource on this same topic is the video found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9db9FyDkppk. This video provides explicit examples of how to navigate YouTube to ensure that the proper content is accessed. Both videos were discovered well after the literature review for this course was complete, but these resources bolster the assertions made in the articles.
